There are many benefits to having a U.S. personal tax ID number, including applying for a credit card and accumulating credit history. . . . .
However, not everyone is eligible to apply for ITIN. Generally speaking, ITIN application requires the party to fill in the W-7 form, attach the tax form, personal passport, and original visa, and mail it to the IRS. You can receive the IRS approval letter after 12-15 weeks. but! ! ! Once the passport is lost, the documents are missing, and the application reasons are not sufficient, it is very likely that the application will be in vain.
Therefore, it is very important to find a CAA (Certifying Acceptance Agent) agent to apply.
Applying for a tax ID number through CAA does not require mailing the original passport, and the success rate is greatly increased! ! !
